  • Still works in 2021! This error: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI system, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks" is common when installing Windows 10 on a PC or Mac. Hence, you need to take an extra step to fix it.

      Are this way will be data loss for other drives?

    • @TechLunar
      @TechLunar  Před 4 lety +1

      @@msknowledgechannel1600 Data loss will happen only on the drive you select. For example, if you choose "disk 0", data loss will occur only on "disk 0". If you have other drives such as "disk 1" or "disk 2, these wont be affected.

    For all the people asking what is "refresh" command at the end: It is not a command; when you exit, there is the refresh button under the list of your drives (down left, 2 blue arrows).

  • @shrikantsavalkar3407
    @shrikantsavalkar3407 Před 3 lety +6

    No Bro you don't have to delete all your disk data, the problem is with bootable USB or boot mode. Boot mode you might have UEFI due to that it is expecting GPT drives. And 2nd possiblity is Bootable image under USB drive is created using GPT, so you just have to re create new bootable image with MBR-NTFS. The way you have explained, due to this people will loose all there data and it's complicated to take backup in case of someone is even not able to go login to windows or crashed OS.
